Which Infotainment system do i have and can I upgrade to MIB2?

[Kafanga]

I own a 2014 SEAT Leon FR TDI DSG and i'm looking to upgrade the infotainment system to the more modern one that you would find in the SEAT Leons post 2017. I've checked my system information inside my car and it states this:

Part Number: 5F0035869A
Hardware Version: 180
Software Version: 0148
Bluetooth Version: C840

Hope this helps!

I don't know the numbers etc but there are basically three types.

The one you have, which is the crappest system, smallest screen and is missing features you find on the other two.

The next one has a bigger screen, four buttons either side and adds useful features like carplay, android auto etc.

The third one, the facelift one you are talking about, is exactly the same as the proceeding system with a slightly larger screen and no buttons or proximity sensor. So all you're gaining is a screen about a centimeter bigger, which you don't even notice in use. What you're losing is ease of use as you have no direct access buttons, you have to go through the on-screen menu for everything, and no proximity sensor so you need to touch the screen to pull up the pop-up menus.

Basically, the middle option is the best. The best speced pre-facelift one. The facelift one looks better but it is worse to use and has no extra functionality.

Thanks for the explanation. And yeah i figured the display i have is the crappy one but I’m more of a minimalist person so the sleek look of the facelift screen looks better imo but you said the 2nd screen is the best spec one with the 4 buttons on each side. I also assume that my car is MIB1 based on what i can see from my glovebox right?

Yours is not MIB1. MIB1 has 4 buttons either side of the screen and has the navigation. MIB1 does not have Android Audio/carplay.

Your model is a basic radio. You can fit the MIB1, or the MIB2, or the Chinese android radio. For MIB1 and MIB2 you need to buy a display, wiring, unit mounted behind the glove box. On top of that there is the coding. When buying an android radio, you only need to replace what you currently have.

You’ve got MIB1entry

You can install MIB2 6.5” or 8” but you’ll need additional parts as you don’t currently have an infotainment control module in the glovebox
